Guajiros 2001
Guajiros 2001 are two souls united by music and diggin’.
They share not only their collection of vinyls but also a particularly unique passion and musical vision.
Francisco Giucci and Lorenzo Piriz Pereira have forged a path together where the roots of candombe, Latin, Afro, Funk, Jazz Fusion, and rare grooves merge, complemented by Hip Hop samples and any hidden gem that only they can find.
From an early age, each absorbed diverse influences – Francisco immersed himself in the world of sound and experimentation, while Lorenzo inherited an intriguing collection from his artist parents.
Both found in Barrio Sur and in candombe the very essence of their identity.
Yet, there is a certain magic that unfolds when they merge their trajectories, transforming them into a duo that transcends the sum of their parts.
Guajiros2001 is born from the track “Guajira2001” by Juan Pablo Torres, which they cherish as an anthem within their collection.

Montevideo's Local Scene
What is happening in your local music scene right now?
We are currently creating new jazz-focused events that combine vinyl DJ sets with live jazz band jam sessions.
We hope the scene continues to grow and that we’ll have the chance to play in more countries such as Japan and across Europe.

What local spots would you recommend?
Listening Bar
La Batea Bar— Centro
It’s the best music scene.
Record Shop
Feria de Tristan Narvaja— Montevideo
There aren’t that many record shops here, but I think the best digging spot is “La Feria” at the street market.
